Thelen Cemetery

Historic Cemetery, 1-acre in size, is located in the Settler's Glen neighborhood.

John and Hermina Thelen settled the land in 1863 that eventually held this cemetery. They had seven children. Their son Edwin died at three years of age in 1886. They had left the Catholic church and so decided to set aside a one acre plot in the woods on the highest point on their land. The home, cemetery and land stayed with the family until 1965. In 2001, 150 acres, including the cemetery, were sold to a developer. Prior to the sale the owner cut 65 large trees on the grounds leaving it in a sad state. The Town of St Joseph obtained the ownership and care of the cemetery. The grounds were cleaned of the timber slashing and a design proposed many years ago by a son, Andrew Thelen, was put in place. Five monuments are on site.

It was and still is a beautiful example of a family cemetery. Credit~Keith Relyea
